President Donald Trump and Republicans will gather next week in Dallas for the party's first midterm convention.
It's a convention without the nominations -- a two-day event built around speeches, fundraising and rallying supporters.
We'll be keeping you updated on the people, planning and power behind one of the year's biggest political events. Find our coverage at the link in our bio. 🔗
